Beware of "Workers Compensation Appeal Board (WCAB)" Facebook Scam

Facebook users are asked to delete or ignore messages that claim they are have won thousands or millions of dollars in the Workers Compensation Appeal Board (WCAB), and that their names were seen on the winners' list. Some of the messages claim that the government is giving away grants and the recipients' names are on the list. But, the messages are fakes that are being sent by scammers. Therefore, recipients of those messages are asked not to respond to them with their personal information, or follow the instructions in them, even if the messages appear as if they were sent by a friend or family member. Scammers have cloned or hijacked some Facebook users' accounts, and are sending fake messages to their friends, in an attempt to trick them into sending their personal information and money.

Hello again, this is Dan Nakao following up on an earlier post. The organization I have in question is the Workers’ Compensation Board and is represented by a person named Lydia P Chris. She and her organization is claiming I’m entitled to a cash payment of $200,000 but first I have to submit a money transfer of $1280 to cover a “delivery fee”.

Paying money to get money doesn’t make sense to me and I want to be assured this is a scam. This organization also uses the moniker “NGO” saying it’s a non-government organization, if that may be of any help.

There is a FB page for this organization. Hopefully my message will be relayed to proper authorities who will track down those who are behind this scam.

Hello, I’m being asked by a person named Lydia Chris from the Workers Compensation Board to come up with $1280 so I can get a cash payment of $200,000.

This definitely sounds too good to be true and I’m very suspicious about giving out money to get money.

Regarding this transaction, I wanted to do it face to face but I was given a lame excuse about “rules and regulations” requiring me to send a money transfer. I want to make sure this is a scam just like the others that I’m reading about here.

Thanks again for confirming my suspicions. I’m now playing around with this person and getting her (his?) sander up by demanding that she send me routine information such as business references, email addresses and phone numbers, and now she’s threatening to withdraw my “money” if I don’t stop asking questions!

How obvious can some people be and does she seriously think I’m some kind of fool?

Posted: Oct 19, 2018 at 9:42 AM by an anonymous user from or near: New York, United States

Thank you. This is dan and I wrote the second post that was listed as anonymous. To follow up, I just texted Lydia to ask for routine items like references, her phone number and her email address and so far she hasn’t responded.

This person was referred to me by a family friend named Sam Miller whom I’m trying to work out a business deal with, and I hope Sam’s deal isn’t a scam like this thing apparently is. Thanks again.

I got scammed by this guy named Blair Lewis and this guy named Bob. The two said they want to send money to us and they said that we are win 500.000, which was a lie. So people do not fall for it. And also they are getting the FedEx fake people to join in with them so don't fall for it people

Unfortunately I bought into this scam and lost $17,000 dollars. My Iphone was hacked. The perpetrators took over the identity of two of my contacts who urged me to participate. This went on during the entire month of August.

I sent deposits to bank accounts, bought $2,000.00 in Itune cards, wired money at Walmart.

These people are very convincing. I finally was able to talk to the person whose identity they were using and he knew nothing about this scam.

Needless to say I was devastated. I filed a police report and filed a report on line with the FBI.

I don’t have the money to hire an attorney. Please don’t fall for this scam.

Had a 'Friends' request from a Kathyryn Nixon --I accepted, she immediately started messaging me about claiming from The Workers Compensation Appeal Board. Told her I wasn't interested --she continued to press on with further information. --I 'UnFriended' her straight after.

Please check out phone#754-444-3223 the persons name is Linda Kindly with WCAB WORKERS COMPENSATION APPEAL BOARD.I bought two AMAZON gift cards at $500.00 each, took a picture of them with receipts & text them to her.

Told me to head home & wait on the FedEx man with the $100,000.00 & he would pick up the AMAZON gift cards.

Waiting on FedEx man with excitement I got another text saying I another $5,000.00 for insurance fees & paper work.

They said I needed to pay because the F B I was involved in their organization. I told them I could not afford to pay the $5,000.00 after 5 to 6 texts they have came down to $500.00 one more AMAZON gift card by tomorrow August 26 2018 . I would like to get my $1,000.00 back ! People doing things like this should be lock up !

"I received a Facebook messenger message from a Donna Monisola. She says her uncle received $150,000 from the USDPCAD (department of people compensation appeals board program) and that I should contact an agent by text a MR. William Baker at 1-978-310-1273 to see if I was on a winning list. I did text him and he told me after a few texts that I did qualify and to send him my full name, address, age and mobile number which I did.

He then messaged me back saying it will cost anywhere from $500 to 10,000 to pay for file fees and shipping depending on the amount I requested $50,000 to 1,000,000."

This WCAB scam almost gives itself away by using a phony name and address to send your money to start the process. They claim UPS requires the money to deliver the larger amount. I contacted UPS fraud division to report this.

I received a facebook message from a "friend" asking if I knew about the Workers Compensation Appeal Board (WCAB)> I said I had not and he went on to tell me how great it was and did I want the information.

I said I would research all the info myself. I looked it up and for sure it was a scam, took a picture of is and sent it back to the "friend" and blocked him. I am pretty sure that it was not said, friend. That his account had been hacked.

Posted: Aug 7, 2018 at 12:18 PM by an anonymous user from or near: Longmont, Colorado, United States

I think they hacked a friends text message and she/they are telling me to call a number and sign up for WCAB. She would never answer my direct question of "which Grant did she apply for? ", so I started to think this was a scam. She said she received $200,000 delivered to her doorstep ...seemed fishy to me.

Tried contacting that family member directly by telephone and ask he/her to verify. This is because scammers are tricking Facebook users into giving them access to their accounts.

Once the scammers have access to the same accounts, they will contact the family members of the users whose accounts they have gained access to, and attempt to scam the family members by pretending to be the same users.

Beware of anyone claiming you have a free federal government grant from the federal wcab, it's a SCAM. I was contacted by Charles Hutchison out of Wisconsin. He and other scammers Joseph Donald Dallas Texas took thousands from me. Charles Hutchison also pulled a SCAM dealing with Nigeria.

He said that his niece was I getting her dads inheritance. Another scam, Charles Hutchison even threaten my life. Beware I have a list of their names. Someone needs to put them in prison.

I have received the same contact via text which supposedly was from my daughters mother in law. She (they) asked if I had heard the good news? I immediately thought my daughter was pregnant.

I texted about my daughter and she didn't reply about that she just told me my name was on the list and asked if I had the money?

I became unsure at this point and asked if they put it directly in her bank? She replied they delivered it to her door. She offered to put me in touch with the compensation board via a link and asked me if I wanted it. I became suspicious and looked up this site as 350.000 sounded too good to be true. As they say if it's too good to be true, it is.

The other thing. Was that I am not very close to this woman and kept wondering why she was contacting me. Thank God I didn't get past the texting stage and I hope they can't get my phone number from Facebook. I will try to block them and remove my phone from Facebook.

A co-worker of mine(Wendy Cooper)asked if I had gotten a check from WCAB. I told her that I had never heard of them. I asked her why. She gave me the following info:(631)734 0770Text him now that you heard about him from me and you're ready to claim your winning money get back to me so that I can tell you what to do next... Agentmarkcole1234@gmail.com & told me to send a text message to the phone number & a text message to the email address.

This is what I received prior to this: "Have you heard the good news from WCAB already? It was the Annual bonus from (Workers Compensation Appeal Board)...have you heard from them? They are having a promo to help Retired, Veterans Employed and Unemployed, Youth, Old, Deafs and disabled with cash in the society and I saw your name too on their list when I received my money from FEDEX. I got $74,000.00 cash delivery from the promo and I saw your name among the winner's list when I was signing the delivery papers, haven't you got yours?My money was delivered to me at my doorstep with check then the FedEx team follow down to the bank to have it cash out before leaving bank.

Well, I think you should contact the agent that helped me with my claiming, Do you want me to tell you how to do that?

She told me that she didn't talk to me yesterday via Messenger on Facebook between 12:02pm-12:24pm. I sent her copies of what she had written to me.

She told me that today is the first day that she has talked to me since Tuesday 7/24/18 at 9:29pm.

Ok, so I have been reading the comments on here and would like to let this web community know that I too was approached with this scam.

These grifters are getting pretty advanced in their delivery as mine was actually a 3 day set-up before the grift was set in motion.

First off, I should tell you that I recently broke my hand and have been off work for awhile. Not only am I in need of a supplement to my savings, I am going stir crazy at home with nothing to do with my day.

I am a furniture mover by trade and it is a high-paced endurance job and being off work has found idle hands and a mischevious streak. It stared by a friend request from a friend's mom, ( flag #1, she doesn't know me). I then received a call from"Steve" saying that my grant for financial aid went through and they needed my debit card# to deposit the funds.

Thankfully my account was actually overdrawn a few odd dollars and they informed me that a grant could not be deposited into an overdrawn account,( flag#2, deposits into overdrawn accounts brings them back above board).

I told them to call me back in a half hour and I will borrow the money to put my account in line. I then proceeded to call my bank and cancel my card, order a new one and put my bank on alert for fishy requests.

So it was on to phase 2 of their hustle. I received a message from my buddies mom with a story similar to everyone else's about seeing my name on the list and to blah...blah..... Here's their a number and to blah..blah...you all know the drill.

I went to her profile and it was 1 picture, female was her only info and no posts....... whatsoever,( flag#3). I decided to have some SERIOUS fun. I responded acting like an illiterate and desperate for cash hick.

Acting excited and relieved that my savior's were here to pull me out of the dire straits that my texts explained. Then came the application, mind you they didn't ask for money yet or my debit/SS card numbers,( they had that info already from the previous interaction).

so here is where it gets fun, ready? I apologized and said" I don't feel comfortable giving out my pedigree info without verifying the entity requesting it or, at the leather, the credentials of the representative taking the info. That is when he assured me that while I was right in being cautious that they were legit and I had nothing to worry about.

he even sent an award letter from a previous winner to prove that it is real.the award was straight out of Microsoft publisher from one of their templates.

The document was scrutinized and the subject of various jokes as I now have my whole family jerking this person around. I kept persisting in verification and apologizing stating that I wasn't trying to be difficult, and needed this to not be a scam. They then started internet yelling,(all caps) at me saying why am I not able to get to the bottom of this email and to fill out the application and send the money so I could receive my awarded grant. OOPS!

I stated that they never asked me for any money before and that I felt like I was being intimidated. They tried covering their tracks stating that it was explained to me earlier.

This is where I got really fun. I then told them that I was just nformed that from this text on I was to disclose to them that this conversation was being monitored from here on out by the Montgomery county field office of the FBI and agent Huckabee was my liason and overseeing the investigation.

Then, smugly, I said" and his credentials are blah...blah...yada yada yada! I was ready to burst into uncontrollable laughter thinking about the look on their face.

They then, unbelievably still texting, tryed to fight or flight with the rest of their replies. Mind you, we are going into day 3 of this recipricating and I'm sure they were squirming and highly upset given the time they had invested in this " illiterate and desperate hick" only to be spinning their wheels and going nowhere but to answer questions to me and my imaginary G-man.

I told them that,( straight out if Pulp Fiction) you are the SHEEP and I am the WOLF and Mr FBI is the sheperd and dinder of lost children. After that I couldn't text them anymore. THEY BLOCKED ME!

I then went to the original contact, my friends mom's ghost profile and, can you dig it, I was again blocked by our friendly grifters! I know I didn't really make a dent in the scammers pride, but I did keep one of them from scamming someone else for three days.

Chalk on we up for us WOLVES in SHEEP'S clothing. I had so much fun and kept myself busy while avoiding being scammed! I know that this issue in not a laughing matter, I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone and there are people in place to rid us of these parasites. Good day and God bless!

I received a message from an agent Carter 901-401-0143. He told me that I my name was selected as part of the WCAB to win 90,000.00 and that the money would be sent fed ex. I needed to pay taxes of $569.00 by purchasing an I tunes card.

"I received info that I have to contact a Cindy Allen 662-269-1527 stating she works for the Federal Government of Workers Compensation Appeals Board and Dept of Human Health Services. Telling me I have money coming to me in the amount of $100,000.00 and that I need to $3450.00 if I want the cash in 6 hours. I received the info from facebook friend. I know this is a scam"

"The "Workers Compensation Board of Appeals (WCAB)/Agent Kelly Moore" scam is alive and well in June 2018.

I am one who is always on the warpath against any type of scam, & I make it a mission to spread the word to others to ALWAYS have those "Scam Alert Antennae" up to stay safe. This time, however, it took me a minute to believe my own antennae and verify that what I was dealing with really was a scam.

He (assuming it was a "he") hacked into the Facebook account of an aunt I don't hear from often and kept his questions, answers, and comments short and generic enough to not trip himself up - even though the conversation did seem odd. He didn't bring up the WCAB right away, but when he did and said he "saw (my) name on the beneficiary list when Fed Ex brought (her) (her) money", my "antennae" prompted me to start asking some questions and continuing the conversation while I searched "WCAB/Agent Kelly Moore" online.

The scam alert popped up immediately, and I replied to his request to call the phone number he gave me immediately by telling him I would actually be giving his info to our local TV station to make sure others didn't fall for the scam. And I did. Hopefully, some would-be victims will at least be protected from this scam and be reminded to keep those "Scam Alert Antennae" up."

I just received a message today with from one of my facebook friends who said that she had just received $80,000 from WCAB and that my name was on the list that she saw. Thank you for the heads up about this scam

Posted: Jun 15, 2018 at 11:16 AM by an anonymous user from or near: Cassville, New Jersey, United States

I got this from a friend on Facebook claiming it was from the Board of Social Services as well as this organization. I saved the Messenger and told Facebook and told this friend’ s family they were hacked.

The friend who “ wrote” claimed she forwarded to 20 deserving people and I am on the list. I blocked the profile..and muted the messenger...They wrote how people deserve this more than Congress..but UPS would never hand money..and you have notified an agent and I get no services, how am I on a list like that. Disability is not involved.

I received an sms that I have won a cash price and gave me some numbers to call and when I called it was one mr.Albert who picked and directed me and gave me some number to call and said that is the head office line which I did.

Some lady picked the call and so many things she told to pay for my Western Union code which is Gh¢92 and again pay for tax and insurance which is Gh¢150 before they can get me all what it takes me to without the money. What so I do now.

I got same scam today 5-17-18 via facebook messenger. Using a contact I have in my FB account. Telling me he got $90K and I could to as my name was on list.

WCAB and DHHS Government Agencies wish to "Award me' I played along my hunch figuring something was wrong with "Chucks" English.

The same thing happened to me. She didn't tell me the amount she received or what was required to get the money.

Just that FedX paid the up-front money for her and 7 hours later she received her check and the bank cashed it.

She also saw my name on the list of winners when she received her check. I was suspicious from the start and didn't go any further with it. This came through on Messenger. If it looks too good, beware!!

Posted: May 11, 2018 at 1:29 PM by an anonymous user from or near: Colima, Mexico

Today at 6 am, they contacted me, they pretended to be an uncle who lives in USA, I live in Mexico; they told me that my name was on their list, so they give a number and told me that claim my money, fortunately the message could not be sent, so they give me an e-mail direction hemsworthl08@gmail.com, at this point, I still believed that it was my uncle who was speaking, because he told me that he had received the money, so I was such a fool for have contacted by hangouts to this people and and follow the conversation, they said me that Wilson David Lee would help me to send my money, and my "uncle" followed the conversation through facebook messenger, he asked me how much money they were going to give me, that if I was already contacting them and stuff like that.

After this, my "uncle" disconnected from facebook. So they wanted to make me pay the shipping taxes for UPS, and to be honest, I don't have any money or bank accounts, and I told them I could not pay, they wanted to reach an agreement, they asked me to deposit $ 2000, but as I mentioned,I have no money.

Then, they told me that they helped me by paying $1000; after this, they said "REMEMBER TO KEEP THIS INFORMATION TO YOURSELF WE ARE GOING ON A BREAK WOULD LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS I'M BACK", that was two hours ago.

I did not know anything about this type of scam because I live here, so I looked for information about, and found this site, I searched for my real uncle in facebook, and I found his real account, his account had been cloned, maybe he is a victim too, and I left him a message.

Now I can only hope that they don't do anything wrong with my data, although something tells me that it is too late.

Posted: May 9, 2018 at 1:20 PM by an anonymous user from or near: Redford, Michigan, United States

I fell for this cause I didn't know about the scam. They took over 3,000 dollars from me and I want to know how to get it back plus to make people aware of these people.

I usually don't fall for things like this but I had a woman named Ann Lebanon contact me and telling me it wasn't a scam and she even helped me pay the money they wanted.. Juan Banks is the one who told me I was on the list and told me to send the money to Yazan Mike HelmI Diya and then Levar Tremaine told me they were on their way to deliver my money and I'm still waiting.

Please tell me the step I need to take to get this resolved. I'm on disability and can't afford to pay my bills now. Thank you Bernie Camp

I asked for proof by letting me see the check(that did use my friends Facebook account) and they sent me a picture of 20 - $50 dollar bills and asking for taxes and a delivery fee! When will people learn you don’t SEND $$ to get $$!

I gave them my full name address whether I was married widowed divorced telephone # male or female employment status and income. They want me to get 250.00 I-tune card scratch back and take picture of the back of it and send to them. Then I would get money from ups within days. What do I do can they use my info to hack into my accounts

If you gave them personal information, then they will contact you and attempt to scam you, so just be careful next time. If you gave them credit card or other financial information, please contact your bank for help.

The scammer opens up a conversation with hope your life is going well they will ask if I heard the news yet. When response goes into the whole seen your name in recipients ledger(1st clue was a scam as your info wouldn't be on a ledger for others to see. Then when responding with know its a scam they try to convince. Blocked end of story.

I too, received a message on facebook messenger using a profile that actually he was related too someone I knew. Very persistant, told me all about , I kept asking him questions about the family , at one point he said why so many questions.

Then he gave me the number to text 347 455-0135. Got a hold of them I asked her name which was Linda from new York. Wanted me to do money grams or western union , I told her I cannot . Then asked for Itune cards. I thought I would play around and have some fun.

I took pics of used Itunes cards and after several hours which I think she was getting tired of me. I sent them thru e-mail. She comes back a few mins and said " they are all used"? Why would you do that'? I said this is a scam you do not send money to get money ? " She said " do you want your winnings to go to someone else ? I said No a victim you mean. Leave people alone and quit using fake profiles. This is a scam, I told her.

I think these people are so brainwashed they don't listen to nobody. I told her that I would contact the Attorney General in New Your if she doesn't leave me alone. They wanted $750.00 and the delivery guy would give me $150.000 in cash, yeah right.

I received a message from a friend who claims she had won $200:000, her money was delivered to her after she went through all the formalities, thought I would try it as my name was on the list.

First I was asked to pay $4550:00 for tax , delivery of the winning cash,and compensation,which I paid, then when as the procedure progresses, and got to the end, I was t;hen asked to pay 9,000 :00 for certificate for money to be delivered.

I said I don't have that amount, and unable to raise that amount, so I ordered that the amount of money paid be returned to me,he kept on persisting the extra be paid, is this a scam or should take notice of my friend and continuing to raise the extra, have I lost my money.

I just received a Facebook Messenger message from someone who spoofed a friend of mine's Facebook profile, because it looked like it was coming from my real friend.

He (or she) said that he had received money from a WCAB promotional program, and he told me to text Charles Noon at 304-805-6396 to find out how to get my money.

I started asking him personal questions because I knew it wasn't really my friend, and he said, "Don't ask me unnecessary questions if you don't need your money just pass it". I reported the message to Facebook as spam.

My uncle had his FB account hacked. And they have another FB account set up to scam. They are using Kenneth Moore Sr. As a set up too. Watch out ppl; need to catch these fools.

Here is the scam:

"Have you heard about Federal Government department of Workers Compensation Appeals Board I got $50,000.00 cash from the Federal Government department of Workers Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) hxxps://www.facebook.com/kennethmooresr1992 just click on the link to add him as a friend on Facebook and let me know once u add him as a friend so that I can tell u what next to do"

I received the same thing from a personal friend telling me he had received 50000.00 and wanted to know if I had received mine. I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. He sent me the agents name Kathy Powell at 334-569-6949 and told me to send her a message to see if my name was still on list.

He has my name and phone number as it is on FB also, said he would send it to Agent. He sent all this to my messenger. I googled it and read that it’s a scam.

But I did not give him any information that he couldn’t have got off of my FB wall.

"I am Writing this email in regards to facebook scam alert on wcabfacebook scam my friend texts me saying she won $60 thousand on wcab board and my name was on lists. is this a scam because I thought my friend was telling me the truth so I sent almost 5000 dollars each time got no money.Turn into federal trade commission just texts me again today. The agent says he works for wcab board.

I messaged a friend on Facebook and received a reply with information to contact this guy to receive money only after paying a fee. I did not provide any information and am reporting it to you. This is some information I received and his phone number to text to get money:

"THIS IS AGENT MITT GRAM, I WORK FOR WORKER'S COMPENSATION APPEAL BOARD [WCAB].

A friend of mine got in touch with me about this beneficiary list and told me to call..so I did. This woman Mary Rogers said congratulations you have been chosen to receive $100,000,000 ...my friend said he already got his money and that it’s not a scam...I didn’t do anything yet, but he said he sent $700 in for delivery and processing of the money.. she said it from the WCAB

It is a scam. The scammers steal money from their potential victims by asking them to send money for delivery and processing fees before they will receive their so-called compensation. But, if the victims send their money, the scammers will take it and disappear without delivering what they have promised.
